i don't his design is polarising. I just think if it wasn't him doing these shoes no one would be paying them any attention. Yes maybe he is contractually obliged to do certain models. Doesn't mean they are any good though, and the fact that there are so many sitting around unsold would bear this out despite all the hype.

Isn't it really no matter how much they try and push them, fundamentally, they just aren't that special. In fact I would use the word average. The shoe is played out and even if the design was wow, its still the same shoe. There are so many many models EH could have done.If its a performance shoe, I would have loved to have seen him re design the Nike Zoom Fly, a shoe that where form follows function and that looks really innovative.

I noticed, if i wasn't mistaken, that this seasons pieces were made in Switzerland. Have they moved production there from Czechoslovakia?
Also on a separate point it seems like drops will be smaller and monthly from now on, I saw a EH comment reproduced on the Fb forum.
